Tell Them

Tell Them

 

You tell him we’re just friends

That our time together didn’t mean anything

Tell him you only see me every other weekend

Tell him that every word you said to me means nothing

Tell him I was just part of a long elaborate plot to make him jealous

And that you were just playing with my head, us was never serious

Tell him he never made you feel appreciated and the brevity of us really alleviated

That lonely feeling

Tell we’re not a relationship we’re a moment of weakness and now you’re healing

Hug him

Tell him you love him

Take his hand and walk away from me

Tell your friends how much you hate me

And couldn’t wait to get away from me

Tell them how much we didn’t matter

And you hated our every moment

So when you leaving your world wont be shattered

You can tell them that

As long you tell them how I often I made you smile

And how when you were sad I’d make you laugh

Tell them how I used to wipe away your tears

And wrapped you in my arms and shielded you from your fears

Tell him how when you wake up scared and screamed my name I was always there

Tell him how

When you couldn’t talk

Mind was gone

You could barely walk

I was the only thing that prevented you from being body outlined with chalk

Tell them how many times I screamed that I’d had enough of it

And how you’d cry and tell me things would be different

Tell them how many times I caught you with other guys

And how it took an army of sorrys and cries for me to be able to look you in the eyes

And the intervention of our friends to stop me waving you goodbye

 

I want you tell the guy you with that we meant nothing

I said I love you

And I meant it

You were just bluffing.

"I want to tell the guy you with that we meant nothing..." Change "you" to you're. :)

I know exactly how this feels. It really is the worst feeling to give your everything to someone in a secret relationship that doesn't even make sense, only to find that you were being used for their amusement. It really messed me up in my head, and probably the reason I don't really trust anyone anymore. I don't even trust myself with relationships because of this experience that has happened to me. It really does just freakin' suck.

But I have learned that actions do speak louder than words. It gets better, hun. I am living proof of that. :) Keep writing. I loved this piece :P

Words can be meaningless sometimes. Love can be a twisted game where no-one can win. I like the flow of thoughts and the strong ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
